Tooth cavity
Hi, i have tooth ache , throbbing pain which just started 2 days back, grinding teeth, left jaw. i was feeling hot and cold for quite some time. i have had rvt in yhe tooth in front of it already and doctor filled this one a little.
the issue is that i cannot step out for next 20 days atleast. i think i need a rct. till i meet a dentist, can you suggest an antibiotic to supress the infection so that it doesn't spread. i am doing hexadine mouthwash, took ketorol dt.
i am quarantined in a hospital with a relative for next few weeks so meeting a dentist is not possible.

Hi, pain killers will supress your pain for sometime but it is always adviceable to start with the treatment asap. Only 5-10 mins sitting will be required to start with the procedure or if possible single sitting rct can also be done but that would depend upon the clinical and x ray findings. So pls try to visit a near by dentist.
